Sarcophagus of Saint Paul to be on public display

The sarcophagus containing the remains of Saint Paul will in
future be displayed for followers to visit in Rome at the
Christian apostle's tomb, the Vatican said.
The Vatican's archaeological services made an opening under the main altar
of the Basilica of Saint Paul Outside the Walls, to allow visitors to see
the sarcophagus of the saint buried there, said Giorgio Filippi, head of
the Epigraphical department of the Vatican Museums, in a news conference.

The authenticity of the tomb of Saint Paul, who was beheaded in 67 A.D.
in Rome,"is of no doubt", according to Italian Cardinal Andrea Cordero
Lanza di Montezemolo, archpriest of the basilica.
